Stop picking your face without noticing

Picking at blemishes, scabs or the skin around your lips often starts before you realize it, especially at a desk or in front of a screen. Habitron catches the moment your fingers reach your face.

Why skin picking is hard to catch

Skin picking disorder (dermatillomania or excoriation disorder) is a body-focused repetitive behavior. Like nail biting and hair pulling, much of it is automatic, which is why the first step in behavioral treatment is building awareness.

How Habitron helps

Pick the zones you tend to pick at: mouth and nose, chin and jaw, or forehead. When your hand enters a zone, Habitron beeps. Lingering triggers longer beeps and then a gentle on-screen reminder.

Pair it with a competing response

When the beep sounds, do something with your hands that makes picking impossible for a minute: clasp them, hold a fidget toy, or rest them flat on the desk. Over time the urge and the response get linked.
